Christian Nationalists pretend that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, but the Constitution never mentions Jesus or Christianity. Not even once. Instead, it bans government promotion of *any* religion. Don't be fooled by their lying propaganda.

Art of the deal is raising the tariff to 145% then cutting it almost in half despite the fact that China has made no concessions and has completely ignored you. Xi just sits back at laughs at our orange clown.

The president wants to misuse the federal government to carry out a political attack against ActBlue and small-dollar donors.
It's a calculated move to facilitate corruption and empower the ultra-wealthy donors that helped reelect him.
